MONDOVI, WI – With just a few games left in the regular season, the Dunn-St. Croix Conference is still up for grabs, but by the end of this week a big portion of that should be worked out.

The Spring Valley boys’ basketball team came into the week with a 17-4 overall record and a 10-1 mark in the conference, which is tied with Durand for first place and just ahead of Elk Mound’s 9-2 conference mark. The Cardinals hosted Elk Mound this past Tuesday night and will travel to Durand tomorrow. Earlier in the season Valley beat Elk Mound 58-55 and lost to Durand 63-53. Both games were very tight affairs that came right down to the wire.

The Cardinals are coming into the game having beaten Mondovi here last Thursday 53-30, coming off a game edging out Turtle Lake in a non-conference tilt by a narrow 49-47 margin. The pair of wins were part of a bigger story, junior Cade Stasiek reaching the 1,000-point milestone.
